Acne scars + Sun question?

[trdh2o]

Quick question here, i have some acne scars on my cheeks i spent about 30-40 min in the sun at about 63 degree temp was a nice sunny day, i noticed that my face looks a little worse and i was just wondering if this is temporary because i got too much sun, i mean it seems like my scars got redder, iv had this experience before but i dont have it often enough as some of you other people may have. So is it just temporary from the sun?

its not temporary. The color may lighten a little bit, but if you keep exposing yourself to the sun with out SPF your scars do get worse. The skin tans to protect itself and because the scar is already darker than your normal skin tone, when it tans the color darkens.
